The primary use of this facility is to provide an <br />additional ice sheet and concurrent support space for t.he qrowing <br />hockey programs within the community and surroundinq area. <br /> <br />II.

The initial plan included multi- <br />use activities such as performing arts presentations, trade <br />shows, community rooms and recreational activities. This plan <br />included a 2,500 seat ice arena with an olympic sized ice sheet. <br /> <br />As a result of discussions with task force members and residents, <br />we have now determined that the ice arena portion of the civic <br />center could be taken out, thus separating it from the original <br />plan. Although the task force has now focused its efforts qn. the <br />location and development of the ice arena I the civic cent.er <br />concept is still valid, and will be pursued with city officials <br />and task force members within the next few weaks. <br /> <br />III. ~ACILITY COXPOJtlD1'1'S <br /> <br />Enclosed with this briefinq paper is a preliminary site plan of <br />the proposed arena: <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />- <br />
